I haven't followed this thread in detail, so not sure if it's really relevant: I agree that it's quite messy, but it's definitely possible to find stable download links for automated downloads from sourceforge. I sometimes need this because I use a ports-like system for installing certain packages from source on top of my regular Ubuntu system, and it does work quite well. So if this is what's keeping people from Sourceforge then there are definitely workarounds (give me a shout if you need more specific information; I'm likely to have very sporadic internet access over the next few weeks though, so replies may take a while). However, I also think Sourceforge's interface is really ugly so if there are better alternatives then that's great. :) Cheers, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
